TORONTO: Math Professor and musician and millionaire is dead. theglobeandmail/news/toronto/james-stewart-devoted-his-life-to-math-and-music/article22168574/ Dr. Stewart was the author of the world’s best-selling calculus textbooks, a series he began in 1980 and revised and expanded until the last months of his life. He was also a gifted violinist, who played chamber music whenever possible, and performed in the Hamilton Philharmonic and the orchestra at McMaster University, where he taught for three decades. The money he earned from his textbooks, increased by astute investments, gave him the means to buy a ravine lot in Toronto and commission architects Brigitte Shim and Howard Sutcliffe to design Integral House, a curvaceous five-storey structure that ultimately cost $32-million. The house became renowned internationally, both for its organic form and for the excellent acoustics of its open concert room. cc Yuriria Lanza Alexandra Quevedo
